.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
MacPorts keeps records indicating whether you installed a port manually, or whether it was pulled in as a dependency of another port\&. This flag is called \fIrequested\fR and is usually automatically set for all ports you list after \fBport install\fR when installing\&. You can disable this automatic behavior by passing the \fB\-\-unrequested\fR flag to \fBport install\fR\&. See \fBport-install\fR(1) for more information\&.
.sp
\fBport setrequested\fR and \fBport unsetrequested\fR allow you to manipulate the requested flag of a port manually\&. \fBport setunrequested\fR is an alias of \fBport unsetrequested\fR\&.
.sp
The requested flag is used to expand the \fIleaves\fR pseudo\-portname, i\&.e\&. the list of ports that were automatically installed and are no longer needed\&. See \fBport\fR(1) for more information on pseudo\-portnames\&.
.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS"
.sp
Please see the section \fBGLOBAL OPTIONS\fR in the \fBport\fR(1) man page for a description of global port options\&.
